Pardon me for the super late update.

Thank you for reading. I hope you like it.

Kumi's Point of View.

"Where do you want to go?" Tanong ni Ichiro sa akin, matapos niyang buksan ang pinto ng shotgun seat at doon ako pina-pwesto.

"Sa bahay na lang," walang ganang sagot ko sa kaniya.

"Is everything alright?" Tanong niya pa.

I'm not in the mood, so I just nodded my head as an answer.

Katahimikan ang namuntawi sa pagitan natin. It was so awkward.

"I'm going to sleep. Just wake me up when we're already there." I said, and closed my eyes.

I am not going to sleep, I'm just going to pretend cause I didn't want to talk to Ichiro. I'm not in the mood to do that.

Besides, destiny be really playing with me. I remember that thing that I told Hanamichi, and that is he's going to fall for me. But look at me, it is I who fell in love. It's just ironic. Destiny must love playing with me.

――

"Chi, wake up. We're here." Pang-gigising sa akin ni Ichiro.

I fell asleep? I didn't knew.

"Yeah, thanks. Wanna go inside?" Ani ko, nang-iimbita.

"Sure thing, sweet." Sagot niya naman, at hindi ko naintindihan ang sinabi niya sa dulo sa sobrang

"Huh?" Nata-tangang tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Oh, hahaha―wala. Wag mo na lang pansinin yung sinabi ko." Sabi naman ni Ichiro.

"Okay?" Nasabi ko na lang.

I saw Dad's Bodyguards outside; gathering. What is happening? Why are they here?

"Manang Yolly, why are they here?" Anang ko sabay turo sa mga Bodyguards ni Dad na nagtitipon na sa living room namin.

"Naku, Iha. Kakadating lang ng Sir Kazuya." Sagot nito sa akin.

What? Pati si Dad? I thought Mom came here alone.

"Welcome home, Miss Kumi." Bati sa akin ng Butler namin, ng mga Bodyguards at pati na rin mga Maid.

"Thank you po." Sabi ko naman sa kanila.

"Nandito na po si Miss Kumi at Sir Jin, Ma'am Yumi." Rinig kong sabi ng personal maid kong si Ara.

"Hello po, Tito." Bati ni Ichiro kay Dad.

"Yeah, hi Son." Pabalik na bati naman ni Dad kay Ichiro.

"The last time I saw you, you were this little. Now you've grown up into a such a fine gentleman." Sabi ni Dad tsaka ito nag-mostra sa kamay niya.

"Thank you po," nagkakamot ng ulo na sabi ni Ichiro. He's shy, probably.

"I was so happy when my wife told me that you are my Daughter's Fiancé." Ani ni Dad.

Kailan pa siya naging ganito kadaldal? He's such a serious and mysterious person na kahit nga akong anak na, hindi pa kabisado ang ugali ni Dad.

"Ah...hehe, opo." Iyon na lang ang nasabi ni Ichiro kay Dad.

"Anyways, me and my wife invited your parents for a dinner later with our friend slash company stock holder, Hazel Cea." Sabi ni Dad, kaya naman napatango-tango si Ichiro.
